>>dbms_output.put_line('!'||copy_cmnd||' '||c2.fil||' '||copy_dest);
What do you expect?
You are using DBMS_OUTPUT to display the string.
Not to execute it.

DBMS_OUTPUT is a rudimentary debugging tool that is used to let server side processed output messages that can be seen by the session that ran the process.

I'm guessing that you've found this script, and are trying to make it work without understanding much of what you're doing.

What is does is to produce a list of commands that you can copy and paste into SQL*Plus, which will then execute them, performing a hot backup.

I see that you have copied the script from
http://www.orafaq.com/scripts/back_rec/backup.txt
The hint is in the last 3 commented lines.

You have to type the command into SQL*Plus.

All you're doing is using SQL*Plus to display the output from this procedure.

If you want to execute the list of commands that the procedure produces, cut and paste them back into SQL*Plus.

Read OraFAQ Forum Guide and don't use IM speak.
